Bangkok again...

I went to Bangkok again. Many people curious and asked me why I still go to Bangkok as I have been there a few times. This time I became a shopping guide to bring my friends to buy cheap and fashionable stuffs in Bangkok.

We went to Pattaya on the first day. We took a taxi from the airport there. The taxi driver couldn't speak English. As a result, we used "International" language - body language to communicate. During the journey, we couldn't open the packet of snack and we asked the driver if he had a pair of scissors or any tool that could help us to cut it. Do you know what he gave me? He gave me a medium sized chopper. My mom uses this type of chopper to open durians. We were shocked and curious why Thai taxi drivers keep a such chopper in their car. I quickly returned it to him after I had used it and helped him to keep the chopper in the dashboard drawer.

Personally I think the beach in Pattaya was nothing special. But there were a lot of unusual scenes can be seen. The men-young, old, handsome, not so good looking, alone or in a group - were all accompanied by Thai girls. Ladies sat along the beach waiting to solicit for "customers" who are mainly Caucasions men. We relaxed at the beach and enjoyed drinking coconut juice and eating grilled squid which was very yummy with special made chilli source.






Before we came to Bangkok, my friends who have been to Pattaya highly recommended me to watch a striptease show called "Don Don" Show. That night, the boss of the local tour company said he will bring us there. He stopped at the a residential house and told us that the show would be held there. We was shocked and scared. Imagine watching a striptease show in such a place. We quickly said no to the driver and refused to go out from the car. After the driver had spoken to the house owner, he told us that the show would be held at another place. Then, he drove his car to the dark alley with many trees and a lot of grass. We were screaming in the car out of fear. However, the driver tole us not to worry. Suddenly, something flashed in my mind. I imangined all the audience sitting in a circle and watching striptease show among the bushes. When we saw a building and a few buses which stopped there. we knew that we were safe.

We felt cheating because the show wasn't the one that was recommended by my friends. It was called "Fantasy" show which it was performed by the Caucasions strippers. I would say the show is a fantasy for men but not for women. After the show, we told the driver that it wasn't the "Don Don" show. He said that he didn't know what show it was and joked that he could perform for us. I quickly told him no.



We were in Bangkok for the next three days for shopping. We shopped from morning till night. Can you imagine a set of fashionable clothing is sold at RM49 /RM 59 in Malaysia but now I can buy at RM13 / RM15 in Bangkok. Of couse, this will make all the ladies crazy. I don't think any lady can resist this temptation. The clothes that we bought can last for next year. It was really satisfying. People will say we're shopaholics. Who cares if it's in Bangkok.
